that has one of these cool microscopes called confocal microscope or light sheet microscopy.

And then you can make the mitochondria fluorescent.

So you put a dye in the dish and then it's a little fluorescent molecule.

It goes inside the mitochondria.

It's attracted by the big charge that mitochondria have.

And then you turn off the lights, look down the eyepiece, and then you see this beautiful filaments, mitochondria moving.

They move pretty slowly.

And interestingly, they're just at the edge of human perception of how quickly we can perceive things to move.

So they move barely fast enough so you can see them.

And then they kiss and then confuse completely.

We're building a webpage called MitoLife, which is to help people understand themselves energetically and through the beauty of mitochondria.

And there are all sorts of different types of mitochondria that move differently.

And when the mitochondria are not healthy and if they can't flow and transform energy properly, they start to look really weird.

Yes, it's so important.

And we are energy.

Fundamentally, we are the flow of energy through this biological infrastructure that we call the body.

But you are not the cells or the genes or that thing.

You are much more...

that energy that is flowing, which is why when the energy stops flowing, you are no longer.

When you die, all the physical stuff remains, but you no longer have an experience, you no longer exist as a person.
